Acid reflux
That's one explanation. Another is that his natural cures are threatening the profits of big pharmaceutical companies so they got the government to lock him up.
No.
He was convicted because he couldn't back up his claims.
Despite this, his books STILL sell millions of copies.
Did you ever stop to think about WHY his books still sell millions of copies? Maybe it's because his natural cures work. His book, "Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About" is rated 5 starts out of 5 by most of the 2,365 people who reviewed it on amazon.com.

They don't work. Believe me, I tried a few.
I'm still angry about the fact one of his "cures" directly lead to the painful, excrutiating death of one of my relatives.
Uh... yeah. Believe what you want. I don't wish to debate with you any longer.
Although I have suffered from reflux I have discovered several ways to minimize it. Primarily, I eat a lot less and do so in the early afternoon. Sweets and sugar seem to provoke it so I avoid them, especially in the evening. I avoid meat but I don't know if this is a contributor to the problem. I avoid eating in the late afternoon and night before I go to sleep. If reflux does occur, I try to get to sleep in a semi-sitting position with pillows or other objects under the head end of my mattress to keep my torso semi-erect or sleep in a comfortable chair. Mostly, the problem can be controlled by not over-eating and avoid acid foods like fruit juices. I also use Nexium which prevents acid formation.

I have had it from time to time. There are certain things you can do to mitigate it, apart from medication:
1) Eat smaller portions at mealtime, or eat several smaller meals throughout the day.
2) Stay away from soft drinks, as they are acidic. Doctor Pepper was always a major offender with me.
3) Don't consume huge amounts of water. It's not clear that this '8 glasses a day' rule is really required, and keeping up with such large quantities merely aggravated my acid.
4) Reduce stress, or temper your reaction to it so the reflux doesn't start.
I was having bad reflux several years ago. One over the counter med in the US was an antacid called Tagamet, it helped me when I needed it. When in the midst of the worst throes of reflux, standard chewable antacids were only partially effective.
I have gotten to the point where reflux is only a very occasional problem, and am learning to better control it through the above steps. Good luck.

I'm lactose intolerant, so I already do this. But I'm a soda addict. This gives me problems and I can't help it.
Thanks.
I have acid reflux, but I don't get heartburn. I get a tickle in my throat and a cough which is worse after meals and at night. The doctors said I had asthma and/or allergies. Wasn't till I read an article on acid reflux and realized I had all symptoms except heartburn that I went in and had a test done. I am in a high-stress job, so not surprised. If there is a God He She or It has an evil sense of humor because I am in precisely the kind of job a career counselor would tell an Aspy to avoid like the plague. But the job market is not good in this part of the country and I am in one of the few fields that is actually prospering so I have no desire to start over somewhere new. I have been there almost 30 years and we have learned to adapt to each other.
